| Stratospheric audio gear prices In every piece of audio gear, there is a minimum standard to achieve excellent waveform amplification or transmission. Cheap engineering won't get you there. You have to pay the "man" (manufacturer) something for his brain power. Now, how to kn... | |
| How much reality do you really need? In any audio show about 1 in 100 listening rooms reproduces music completely realistically. It is a rare event and most people never hear it. Many think they do. Most vendors don't know how to get there strangely enough. It's better to talk wi... | |
| Favorite cable brand. Each component has a different impedance requirement. Different cables have different configurations and that interaction is what you are hearing To optimize waveform transmission, and that is your goal I hope, each cable has to be designed for th... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer 8" is a good. Mid-bass is a compromise so to minimize Doppler on the low end I needed 6 on each side, sealed box. Kind of blew the budget. Then XO @ 58 Hz to 15" corner horns which is all right to 25 Hz for most music. Then XO to the sub-sub 14’ T... | |
| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? We pull a lot of vinyl out at a time to play an assortment of stuff.....so to ease repetitive motions and save time.....Filtered air and humidified with D/W and super clean records means no dust or cleaning needed before play. Ridiculously clean.... | |
| The Most "Analog" CD Player? Compare any direct data cd output, upsample it to 192/24 or better, convert it, then observe if you hear any difference between them. You just might save yourself a lot trouble and money. | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? If you question hearing your record anew vs much wear, consider getting a needle that tracks higher or lower in the grove than the previous wear pattern. (Keeping in mind that tracking lower in the groove necessitates extremely clean vinyl) | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. You are listening to two rooms. The room where the sound was recorded, and your listening room. You have a choice. Listen to one, or both. | |
| Coax Digital Out -> XLR Digital Input cable? Oh no. Digital and analog confusion again. Look, the signal is electromagnetic, it does not know if it is digital or analog. Both types will travel at the same speed and react to impedance the same way. So let's just close the case on getting ... | |
| High Frequency Oscillation hurt resistors in Magico A5 crossovers I think the LF > HFO etc has been covered adequately. A schematic of your crossover would help. Anyway, with updates, components are reset, turned off, turned on. It is reasonable that the +5V PS voltage to your USB DAC was also reset. The s... |
